Young people are struggling with mental health and relationships, but there are small shifts in beliefs and behaviors that could help.

Between 1985 and 1989, a warming of 0.06 C per decade was observed, while from 2019 to 2023, the sea-surface temperature rose by 0.27 C per decade. This suggests that sea surface temperatures are rising 4.5 times faster since 2019 than they were at the end of the 1980s.

The study calculated monthly global mean sea-surface temperature using global satellite data records generated through ESA’s Climate Change Initiative (CCI). The dataset used observations from 20 infrared radiometers on board satellites including ESA’s ERS-1, ERS-2, Envisat, Copernicus Sentinel-3 and two microwave radiometers from 1980 to 2023 to provide a globally accurate temperature trend.

By slashing teams that gather critical data, the administration has left the federal government with no way of understanding if policies are working — and created a black hole of information whose consequences could ripple out for decades.

Metformin, a widely used and affordable diabetes drug, could prevent a form of acute myeloid leukaemia in people at high risk of the disease, a study in mice has suggested. Further research in clinical trials will be needed to confirm this works for patients.

Scientists found that using a new medication to inhibit a specific protein in rodents’ brains can help restore their motor skills after a stroke.

New research from CSHL Associate Professor Tobias Janowitz, WashU Medicine Professor Adam Kepecs, and their collaborators reveals a circuit in the brainstem that can sense inflammation and drive apathy-like behavior in cancer cachexia. Janowitz is a co-team lead for CANCAN, tackling the cachexia challenge set in 2020 by Cancer Grand Challenges, a research initiative co-founded by Cancer Research UK and the National Cancer Institute.

Researchers from Penn have found new cost-effective ways to make a great cup of pour-over coffee using fewer beans. Their findings could potentially provide insights into similar systems such as waterfalls and surface erosion.

Childhood maltreatment often continues from one generation to the next, perpetuating the cycle of abuse and depression. In a bid to promote healthier parent-child relationships, researchers from the University of Fukui compared mothers who engaged in maltreatment with those who did not, revealing that childhood trauma increases emotional empathy and depressive symptoms, raising the risk of abusive parenting. Their findings highlight the need for mental health support and parenting programs to help break this cycle.
